If a company’s beta were to double, would its required return also double?
A firm wishes to assess the impact of changes in the market return on an asset that has a beta of 1.1.
a. If the market return increased by 13%, what impact would this change be expected to have on the asset's return?
b. If the market return decreased by 9%, what impact would this change be expected to have on the asset's return?
c. If the market return did not change, what impact, if any, would be expected on the asset's return?
d. Would this asset be considered more or less risky than the market?
How would I do the same calculation if Beta is 1.2? That would be 1-1.2= -0.2 invested in the money market. How does that make sense?
